Just as Taoi and Midori were dragging Lin En out of the activity room, Lin En remembered something and quickly grabbed the two of them.

"Momoi and Midori, wait a moment. You guys go out for a moment, I'll prepare something."

Taoi was about to ask something, but when she saw Lin En let go of their hands and took the backpack from behind, her eyes lit up as if she understood something.

"Could it be that the teacher is the kind of cautious hero who will make all preparations in advance before the battle! Even if it's just to fight a slime, he will definitely be fully prepared and apply special sword oil for slimes on his sword! "

"...I don't think I'm such a cautious person. And is there really a sword oil in the game that is specifically designed to deal with slimes?"

After curling his lips, Lin En pushed Tao Jing, who wanted to stay in the activity room to find out what was going on, towards the door of the activity room.

"Okay, okay, the teacher needs to change clothes, so please step aside."

"Oh! Is Mr. Lin En actually the kind of brave man who is prepared for any eventuality and carries multiple sets of special attack equipment with him?!"

“…I just happened to have it with me.”

Seeing Lin En's embarrassment, Midori sighed helplessly, grabbed Tao Jing's arm as she was about to ask Lin En something, and dragged her out of the activity room.

"Okay, sister, don't bother the teacher anymore. Otherwise, I don't know when we can set off."

"Wow...but I'm really curious—"

After watching the door of the activity room being closed by Lu, Lin En sighed at first, but then chuckled and talked to himself.

"It seems that the students of Millennium are quite cute."

After saying that, Lynn took off his shirt and prepared to put on the thief costume.

However, just as he was taking off his underwear, he suddenly realized something, stopped what he was doing, and began to look around.

Because just now, Lin En seemed to feel that someone was looking at him.

But when he was about to explore the source of the gaze, he no longer had this strange feeling.

"The curtains are drawn... the cameras are turned off..."

After checking the possible sources, Lynn began to look closely at the activity room.

The activity room is not big. It only has two game consoles, several shelves full of handheld game consoles and game cartridges, and two or three student lockers for storing clothes or equipment. Apart from that, there is nothing else.

Besides, he had just arrived at the Millennium Science and Technology Academy, and there shouldn't be any other strange people here who were interested in him.

"Besides... they probably don't have the funds or space to build a secret room or something like that..."

After attributing the feeling just now to an illusion, Lynn put on the Phantom Thief costume as before.

--------

"Ladies, sorry for the wait."

"Whoa?!"

Seeing Lin En coming out of the activity room, not only Taoi couldn't help but exclaim, but even Midori, who had been expressionless just now, widened his eyes in surprise.

"You...you are Lin——"

Before Tao Jing could finish her words, Lin En quickly covered her mouth.

"I prepared this equipment secretly to deal with some difficult or unexpected situations. So until now, not many people in Kivotos know about its existence. Taojing, you must not let it slip."

Seeing Tao Jing nod vigorously, Lin En finally let go of his hand.

"So what should we call you, Lin...eh?"

"From now on, you can call me Joker-san."

Seeing Lu hesitant to speak, Lin En chuckled and reached out to adjust the brim of his hat.

"Well, let's go now."

"Lin...uh, Joker-san, can I ask you something?"

Seeing Lin En nodded with some doubt, Tao Jing, with a curious look on her face, asked.

“Is your superpower money?”

"...?"

Chapter 10: Princess Carry, But There Are Three People

The ruins, a place that was blocked by the missing Federation Student Union President and no one is allowed to enter.

As to what exactly is inside, there are different opinions among various colleges, especially the Millennium Science and Technology Academy, which is closest to it.

But what cannot be denied is that just as mysterious as this place is its dangerousness.

Although the student union's security forces had long since evacuated this place, there were still a large number of mechanical soldiers of unknown origin patrolling this place...

But today, three sneaky people broke into this "forbidden area".

"Wow... why did the teacher suddenly hit me..."

Touching her head which still ached slightly, Tao Jing complained with a sad face and some dissatisfaction.

Hearing this, Lu on the side couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"Sister, even if you are just making a joke, you should pay attention to the occasion and atmosphere when you speak, right? Have you forgotten what the original owner of this joke is like?"

"Wow... I didn't mean it..."

Just when Tao Jing was about to say something, Lin En suddenly reached out and pressed the heads of the two sisters down.

"Quiet."

Hearing Lin En's slightly serious words, Tao Jing and Midori closed their mouths at the same time and raised their guns.

Less than half a minute after Lin En held them down, a team of robot soldiers who looked very tough came to the place where they were only separated by a hill of abandoned spare parts and began to look around.

Fortunately, they just briefly inspected the area and returned along the same route after finding nothing unusual.

"Huh... I'm glad we haven't been discovered. Let's move on quickly."

Tao Jing, who was following behind Lin En, subconsciously looked back at the place where the mechanical soldiers appeared, and spoke with some surprise.

"How did Teacher Lin En find them? I didn't notice them at all just now."

"Hmm? It's a secret."

Lin En adjusted the monocle on his nose and answered with a chuckle, then asked Tao Jing as if he remembered something.

"Come to think of it...Momoi, was this coordinate also told to you by the Ministry of Truth?"

"Of course!"

When Lin En asked about this, Taoi straightened her chest slightly, and nodded at him with pride for some reason.

"This is what Senior Himari told me himself! There must be the legendary game bible in this place!"

"Well... that's really amazing..."

Although Lin En didn't know exactly who this Himari was, after hearing what Taoi said, he silently memorized the name in his heart.

But unlike Lin En who sighed out loud, Midori spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"So, sister, did you decide to come to such a dangerous place just after hearing about this?"

"of course not!"

Taoi said this with one hand on her waist, looking very confident.

"I have asked the Ministry of Truth to find the exact coordinates for me! The legendary G-Bible is indeed in this place! As long as we find that thing, it will be just a matter of time before we can restore the glory of the Game Department!"

"We have never had glory..."

When Midori was sighing like this, Lin En discovered something and curled his lips and said to the two of them.

"Momoi and Midori, I have good news and bad news. Because you spoke too loudly just now, a team of mechanical soldiers has discovered us and is heading our way. You will be able to see them soon."

"So...what about the good news?"

Looking at Tao Jing's pale face, Lin En shrugged.

“That’s the good news.”

Before he finished speaking, Lynn suddenly turned around, and a playing card shot out from his sleeve and hit the head of the mechanical soldier who had just appeared from behind the scrap pile not far away.

"boom!"

With a roar like a grenade explosion, the seemingly thin playing card turned out to be like a bomb, instantly blowing apart the body of the leading mechanical soldier. The shock wave also knocked over several mechanical soldiers following behind it.

It was not until this time that Taoi and Midori finally reacted, raised their guns, and pulled the trigger at the mechanical soldiers who had already lost their composure.

After quickly destroying this team of mechanical soldiers, Tao Jing looked at Lin En with shining eyes.

"Ka Ku Yi! He cleared all the monsters that blocked his way in such a cool way, just like... just like those max-level ninjas in RPG games!

"…There should be some difference between a Phantom Thief and a Ninja, right?"

After complaining like this, Lin En looked around and continued.

"However, because the commotion here is so loud, more and more mechanical soldiers are approaching us, right?"

"Wuuuuuuuu?! What should I do then?"

When Tao Jing showed this panic-stricken look, Midori pointed to a place not far away as if he had discovered something.

"There seems to be a factory over there!"

Looking in the direction that Lu pointed, Lin En nodded.

"Well, even though other places are in ruins, that factory doesn't seem to have any damage. The G.Bible you're looking for might be there. Let's go there now!"

Just as Lin En gave the order, the sound of the mechanical soldiers stepping on the ground came into the ears of the three people from far away.

"Teacher, their firepower might be quite fierce. Please stay close to me. I won't let you get hurt."

After hearing what Midori said, Momoi, who seemed to have developed some kind of competitive spirit, spoke up as if not to be outdone.

"I...I will never let the teacher get hurt!"

Hearing this, although Lin En wanted to tell them that his clothes had a certain bulletproof performance, he still couldn't do something that could be regarded as pouring cold water on them.

But if they stayed where they were, they would be no match for these seemingly endless mechanical soldiers.

At this moment, Lin En thought of something and chuckled. He suddenly stretched out his hand and picked up Lu beside him.

"Wow?! This is not the time to joke around, teacher!"

However, Lin En did not answer immediately, but hugged Tao Jing, who was stunned by the scene beside him.

"Hmm... I didn't expect to be able to pick up both of you."

After talking to himself for a while, Lin En recalled a certain scene from the past and said to the two of them with a smile.

"Ladies, hold on tight, will you?"

After saying that, after realizing that Taoi and Midori were hugging his neck tightly, Lin En threw the grappling hook towards the nearby tower without waiting for them to ask anything.

“Wait, teacher, what is this wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—”

Chapter 11 The Awakened Girl

"Huh...Huh...you really scared me..."

Inside the factory, Taoi, whose face was a little pale and who seemed still a little frightened, loosened her arms that were hugging Lin En's neck and almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

After quickly reaching out to support Tao Jing, Lin En first glanced at the broken glass window when he rushed in, and then looked at the open factory door.

What surprised Lin En was that the mechanical soldiers who were chasing them all stopped at the door of the factory and did not rush in.

Not only Lin En, but Midori also discovered this.

"They can't get in. It seems like something is blocking them in this place."

After Midori muttered to herself, Momoi finally realized something and coughed lightly, then spoke as if thinking about something.
